20-Yard Dumpster Rental in Canada — Same-Day Delivery

Our most-rented size — the whole-home renovation bin.

A 20 yard bin rental is the dumpster size most contractors reach for first. This 20 yard dumpster rental clears flooring, furniture, and renovation debris from an entire house in a single roll-off, yet at 22 ft long and a low 4.5 ft wall it still loads easily by wheelbarrow or by hand over the side.

Plan on roughly six pickup-truck loads with three tonnes of disposal included. It’s built for whole-home renovations, large roofing tear-offs, mid-size demolition, and commercial fit-outs where a smaller bin would mean a second haul.

We deliver same-day across 60 Canadian cities when ordered before 11 AM, with bilingual dispatch and one transparent CAD rate. Keep the bin for the length of your project and we’ll schedule the swap or final pickup whenever you call.

Specifications

What actually fits in a 20-yard dumpster

The 20-yard is our most-rented size because it matches the most common big job: a whole-home renovation. It clears flooring, furniture, drywall, and fixtures from an entire house in one roll-off — about six pickup-truck loads — yet its low 4.5-foot wall still lets you load by hand or wheelbarrow over the side.

Contractors reach for it on whole-home gut jobs, large roofing tear-offs, mid-size demolition, and commercial fit-outs. It is the bin that prevents a second haul: where a 14-yard would fill before the job is done, the 20 finishes most residential projects in a single placement.

As a rule of thumb, a 20-yard absorbs the debris from a kitchen plus two bathrooms taken back to the studs, roughly 1,800 square feet of removed flooring, a full basement clear-out, or a 25-square asphalt-shingle tear-off. If your project is a single room or one bathroom, the 14-yard is usually enough; if you are gutting an entire house and adding a garage, plan for the 30-yard so volume — not weight — sets the limit.

Weight limits: where the 3-tonne allowance goes

Three tonnes of disposal are included. Mixed renovation debris and roofing fill the volume before the weight, so the full 3 tonnes is rarely a constraint on light loads. The exception is dense material — concrete, asphalt, masonry, and wet soil — which reaches the cap fast and belongs in a smaller bin classified as a heavy load.

Tell dispatch the material mix at booking. We quote the tonnage cleanly so the price you see is the price you pay, with no overage surprise when the truck weighs in at pickup.

Choosing between the 14, 20, and 30-yard

Size down to the 14-yard when the job is contained — a single-room renovation, one bathroom, a garage clear-out, or a small roofing patch — and you want the most compact footprint on a tight driveway. The 14 holds about four pickup-truck loads against the 20-yard’s six.

Stay with the 20-yard for the typical whole-home renovation: it is the size that finishes the most projects in a single placement without a second haul, which is why it is our most-rented bin.

Size up to the 30-yard for new construction, a large addition, or a full-property demolition that produces bulky, lightweight debris — siding, insulation, framing — where the extra two feet of wall height lets volume fill before weight does. For dense loads like concrete or soil, do the opposite and book a smaller bin classified as a heavy load, since weight, not volume, will set the cap.

What a 20-yard dumpster rental costs in Canada

A 20-yard rental starts from $519 CAD, and that flat rate already includes delivery, pickup, a standard seven-day rental window, and the full three tonnes of disposal. There is no booking fee, no fuel surcharge, no environmental levy, and no card required to reserve — you pay on pickup in Canadian dollars.

If a project runs long, extra days are $25–$45 per day depending on your city. If a load goes over the included three tonnes, overage is billed cleanly at the scale at roughly $95 per tonne — and because we quote the tonnage at booking, that number is never a surprise. The final price varies only with your delivery distance and rental length, which is why an online quote gives you the exact figure for your address.

How the rental works, from booking to pickup

Book online or by phone with bilingual dispatch. Order before 11 AM local time and the 20-yard is delivered the same day in most of our 60 cities; otherwise it arrives within 24 to 48 hours. The driver sets the bin on pinewood runners so your driveway is protected, and positions the door for easy walk-in loading.

Keep the bin for the length of your project. When you are ready, call or text for a swap if you need a fresh empty, or a final pickup when the job is done — we schedule it on your timeline, weigh the load once at the facility, and send a single transparent CAD invoice.

Permits, placement, and same-day delivery in 60 cities

On your driveway the 20-yard needs no permit; on a public street, municipal rules apply and vary by city. We flag it at booking and can file on your behalf with notice. The bin sits on pinewood runners, dispatch is bilingual, and same-day delivery is available across 60 Canadian cities when you order before 11 AM local time.

What can’t go in the bin

A few materials are banned from every roll-off in Canada — including this 20-yard — no matter how much room is left in the bin. Tell dispatch up front and we route restricted items to the right facility instead of charging a contamination fee at the scale.

• Hazardous waste — paint, solvents, oils, fuels, and asbestos
• Tires, propane tanks, and pressurized cylinders
• Batteries and electronics with refrigerant or lithium cells
• Liquids, wet paint, and uncured concrete slurry
• Medical, biological, or radioactive material
